PlayStation Plus: Top 22 Horror Games Dominating the Genre

This guide explores the revamped PlayStation Plus service and its diverse game library, focusing on horror titles available across its three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. While online play requires at least the Essential tier, horror game enthusiasts will find a richer selection in the Extra and Premium tiers.

The Extra tier offers hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, regularly updated with approximately 15 new additions monthly. Premium expands this library further, incorporating classic titles from PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP. Sony's service boasts a wide range of genres, ensuring a diverse selection for most players, including a strong horror lineup.

Update (January 5, 2025): The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions lacked horror titles. Note that Resident Evil 2 will be removed from the service on January 21, 2025. However, Resident Evil 3 remains available. Due to the lack of new horror additions, a section highlighting alternative PS Plus games that might appeal to horror fans has been added.
